A social worker on the holiday of a lifetime will spend Christmas in a Thailand hospital after suffering a catastrophic scooter crash.
Jo Hoffman smashed every bone in her face and broke her spine in four places during the crash and now desperately needs £50,000 to pay for vital treatment needed to recover.
She told the Express & Star:"The whole family is so upset, my parents are really struggling not being able to see Jo and knowing she is suffering so far away. "She was so excited before she left but she also is sensible and organised, so she got travel insurance so for it to be classed as invalid is a massive blow, we are not the kind of family who have £50,000 lying around."
"I spoke to her for a short while a couple of days ago, we just have to wait for updates when they came, it was heartbreaking to tell the rest of the family what had happened. Jo is a real family girl she has got two sisters, one brother, lots of nieces and nephews and her parents who all love her to bits."
After being rushed to hospital Jo received the devastating extent of her injuries and then the traumatising news her travel insurance would not cover any medical bills.
